Freshman Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) told CNN Friday that she is willing to vote for “some money for physical barriers,” as the 21st day of the partial government shutdown progressed.
"How can the White House, Republicans believe you 1,000 percent that you are going to give money on the wall when…Nancy Pelosi herself said no, zero dollars for the wall?" CNN’s Poppy Harlow wondered. “The way they say it is if you re-open, right, how do we know you’re going to give us any of this?”
“Do you think Democrats should give any money to the wall?” Harlow asked.
"I think there is a lot of talk about physical barriers of some kind," Hill replied. "Even President Trump isn't calling it a wall anymore. It is really so silly that we are even continuing to have this conversation about a wall."
Harlow followed up that Hill could call it what she wanted but her question was about whether Hill would vote to fund the building of some sort of barrier.
"I am definitely someone who will vote for a comprehensive border security package that includes immigration reform—" Hill replied.
"Congresswoman, I just want a really straight answer here," Harlow interrupted. "Will you vote for any money for a steel barrier?"
"I will definitely–I don't know if it will be steel–I will vote for some money for physical barriers," Hill said. "It's not going to be across the entire 2,000 mile stretch and it is certainly not going to be a concrete wall. It will be part of the package. I can almost bet on it."
"That is more than a lot in leadership are willing to do now," Harlow pointed out.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have indicated a strong unwillingness to budge an inch in negotiations over the $5 billion that President Trump is demanding for a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. Pelosi even said she wouldn’t approve more than a single dollar to fund it.
Nancy will be having one of her “now listen here, Missy” chats with her
Wow...I did not know the Rep had been declared the winner. Cali sucks so bad.
No amnesty! Sad even Trump is talking about flooding us with H1B.
Winning
Pelosi is between a rock and a hard place. There will be more breaking ranks. Then there's the Progressive Caucus that will insist she not give an inch. No matter how the shutdown ends, a bunch of Democrats will be angry at Nutty Nancy. That alone makes the shutdown worth it.
The democrats have already agreed to immigration reform.
We need to implement the plan they agreed to.
Reagan signed it into law but it was never enforced
“Freshman RATs don’t want to ‘die on this hill’ with Pelosi.”
You could be right.

I have been trying for three days to get through to my new rep.
The phones in her office are not answered and there is no voice mail set up.
Abigail Spanberger does not want to hear from her constituents, she does not even list a phone number for the local offices on the website and no one will answer the Capitol Hill number.
I am going to the local office on Monday and demand the phone number.
They are going to hear from me even if they don’t want to.
They are lying. This is the Dems new strategy.
Remember 1986 amnesty.
It appeared that not a single California Republican read the ballot harvesting law that Gov. Moonbeam signed.
Hopefully they won't make that mistake again.
Sure they will...
Watch out, she’s a former CIA Operative and Girl Scout leader.
Bet the ads were hard to watch.
She’ll be fined for not providing workers compensation coverage. /s
Her Ads made her sound like a Republican, pro Military and Pro Police. There as no mention of her Party in the Ads.
Same with Harley Rouda who beat my guy Dana Rohrabacher.
The big Lefty was the dough faced Commie Rat Katie Porter. She ran on every Libtard Wet Dream and she somehow beat Mimi Walters? I will never believe it was on the up and up. Porter was a weak Candidate.
Live in an area where your congress person or US senator believe in open borders? Make some noise in their back yard and spread this around. Be your own precinct captain
